...going strictly first class." The ditty elicited rousing applause and, to the surprise of everyone, a bold, well-prepared rejoinder from the First Lady. As a garment rack was dramatically wheeled out from the wings, Nancy strode onstage-in a veritable riot of pantaloons, yellow rubber boots, an aqua skirt with red and yellow flowers, a feathered boa and a floppy feathered hat. Only the third First Lady to tread the Gridiron boards, but the very first to sing-Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter in years past had danced a few steps-Nancy gave the bandleader a confident nod, then...
